I know people who watched the game just to see the ads! Sadly (to me), the last few years have seen the politicization of almost everything, including the advertisements during the Super Bowl. <em>WHY????<\/em> Can\u2019t we leave one thing alone and just concentrate on being happy, a little crazy, and entertained? Can\u2019t we just tear up as Busch and the Clydesdales honor our military, and can\u2019t we groan a little over Doritos stupid, slapstick message and not have to worry about what side to take on the politically correct notions blasted into our living rooms? Whew! Rant over.<\/p>\n<p>This year, from what I saw, we got back to that entertainment factor.<\/p>\n<p>So the favorite Super Bowl ad I saw was for Alexa. I don\u2019t have an Alexa and don\u2019t <em>want<\/em> an Alexa, but I could appreciate the idea of what we would have done before it was available. What we did for &#8220;Alexa&#8221; through past ages was clever and made me laugh\u2014just the kind of advertising I will remember!
